"standard size of W 150mm x H 86mm (5.9" x 3.4"), where length / depth is variable which changes based on size / output etc. Their 460w is about 5.5" long while their 850 w is 7.5" long."
The corsair SF750 Platinum is a mini psu, Dimensions 100mm x 63mm x 125mm.
the mini psu comes with a bracket but just want to know if the cables will fit. the corsair tx650m fits but not sure if this one will work. this will be my first PSU upgrade since i want to add liquid cooling to the aurora r8
I'm also adding liquid cooling soon, this PC makes a lot of noise when i'm streaming or playing games. I'm adding the corsair H60 and changing the fan in the front of the PC to a Corsair ML120 pro. I ordered a Seasonic 650 Watt Ultra Titanium power supply but the sent me the wrong one at newegg it was a platnium seasonic 550 watt PSU that I just got in the mail which I will ship back tomorrow. And I just bought the Corsair 750 platinum one. I think that small one will fit perfect since there isn't a lot of space in the R8 case and it comes with an ATX bracket
It only comes with one EPS 4+4 cable, you need two, one for the CPU header on the mobo, and a second for the GPU_PWR header on the mobo. You cannot use the included Dell OEM cables with this PSU.

Liquid cooling doesn't require an upgrade to the PSU. You can add liquid cooling if you want, you don't need to change out the PSU. The PSU option that you have (presumably 460W) will have 0% impact on whether or not you can add liquid cooling to this machine. The difference in power draw of the AIO cooler versus the OEM fan on the heatsink is de minimis, the AIO cooler may even draw less power than air cooling since Dell likes to use high current fans.
I have the 460 watt PSU but I also have another elgato streaming card in the motherboard and I use a lot of USB drives when i'm streaming or making music.
I'm basically using all the usb drives when i'm working on music like powering USB audio cards and USB MIDI out cards
@KoopaR8 ordered a Seasonic 650W Titanium so I'm gonna go out on a limb and says he ordered a Corsair RMx 750W. That comes with 3 of the angled SATA cables.
Cool, good luck, it should work fine. The fan header up top is a little picky and you may need to use the ML120 Pro in lieu of the included Corsair fan for the top fan header (otherwise it may throw an error code at startup).
I can't tell from the photos if the SATA cables are at right angles or not, but if not, here's an example:
I was looking at some videos and someone said this is the cable for the CD drive in the aurora R8 that doesn't come with most PSUs. Going to get that as well. Just wanted some advice on the Corsair SF750 since I'm new to all this PC building. next time I will build my own for sure
You only need it if the included PSU SATA cables are straight (if they are straight and you have a 3.5" HDD, it will block the case from closing). If the included cables with the PSU are at a right angle then you are good to go.

R8 uses standard Dell oem psu:
"standard size of W 150mm x H 86mm (5.9" x 3.4"), where length / depth is variable which changes based on size / output etc. Their 460w is about 5.5" long while their 850 w is 7.5" long."
The corsair SF750 Platinum is a mini psu, Dimensions 100mm x 63mm x 125mm.
not sure how you would mount the mini psu in R8.

This is the right angle adapter. https://www.amazon.com/CGTime-15-Pin-Female-Latch-Degree/dp/B01N06L7TH/
You only need it if the included PSU SATA cables are straight (if they are straight and you have a 3.5" HDD, it will block the case from closing). If the included cables with the PSU are at a right angle then you are good to go.
